Randy Weber garners support from Susan Combs, Todd Staples

Randy Weber wants you to know that he has some pretty decent endorsements, too.

A day after Weber’s congressional runoff rival Felicia Harris received endorsements from Reps. Bill Flores of Bryan and Rep. Pete Olson of Sugar Land, Weber announced that two statewide elected officials are supporting him in the Republican runoff to replace Rep. Ron Paul in Texas’ 14th congressional district.

Weber, a state representative whose district includes Matagorda County and sections of Brazoria County, won the backing of Texas comptroller Susan Combs and Texas agriculture commissioner Todd Staples.

Staples says:

“I’ve worked with Randy Weber to strengthen our border security. I’ve worked with him to reduce the size of government. In just three years in the Texas House, Randy Weber has proven that he cannot not only fight for our conservative principles, but he wins those fights for Texas families and businesses.”

“Randy Weber has the conservative backbone to stop the Obama agenda from bankrupting our country,” Combs says of the state representative who finished first in the May 29 primary.

Combs and Staples join Governor Rick Perry is endorsing Weber, who in the past has described himself as the most conservative member of the Texas Legislature.

Harris, a Pearland city council member, secured a spot in the July 31 runoff by finishing second in the primary.

The winner of the runoff will face Democrat Nick Lampson in the general election on Nov. 6
